Fwah ... Who so ho xim at starhub, didn't turn on encryption for those channels

Or isit another those free preview promotion?

I notice those are HD channels.... perhaps they are doing some testing first and when completed, to move those channels into the encrypted region?

Sorry I am very noob at this.

I just bought a HD TV (digital ready) and connect the cable wire to the wall plug socket. But turns out the image is totally very blur.

Do I need to buy an antenna for this? I tried calling Bestdenki and this is what they told us.

Also, what is the difference between Daiyo EU673A antenna and EU1702 antenna?
Is 673A effective to get HD images too?

Thanks in advance!

something 4u to read

https://www.fcc.gov/guides/antennas-and-digital-television

any antenna will do, if ask abt e diff, it will b price, design, look.
performance wise not too sure , but hd digital antenna may have better reception on digital signal.

Good guide. bear in mind that for sg, only UHF frequency is used. So only UHF antenna is required.

This is another guide that is tailored to local conditions:

@miteix, first check whether your location is "indoor ready". Go one level up to "Introduction" on the link to MediaCorp. Whether a particular antenna works or not depends on the signal at the location. With strong signal, a cheap and simple antenna will do. With weak signal, one with a booster is a better bet. Still, there is no guarantee.

those active wif voltage source in theory is to amplifiy e weak signals wif some circuitry, in practical how useful is a question, can depends and oso on conditions, so e cause is still e signals.
if in door ready den signal is strong, if not ready, den wil nid to place near e window or outdoor to get gd signal.

Does anyone know any DVB-T2 USB TV Tuner for Mac?

 

[sunsetbay]

Of course that's not what I meant but at the very least they should honour their warranty.

What is the use of a card that only works for a few hours when all 4 tuners are in use at the same time?

i'd completed 1st round of test on your TBS6285~ continuous 6hrs of recording on all 4 tuners in DVB-C mode~ no cut off & work perfectly wor~!

Spoiler

scan hardware~

set timer from 17:55 to 23:55 on 4 difference freq channels~ while recording, i set another recording for 9pm show~

recording completed~ total hrs: close 24hrs, 62.3Gb~ had preview all the files & all of them are playing well~

do note that i put an USB fan for additional cooling~

will do a test on DVB-T2 mode tomorrow~

means kiwi's htpc too hot already? or power supply unstable?

maybe get some heatsinks and paste it onto the tuner's chip?

Hmmm I'm not sure too... or maybe it's my motherboard PCIE slot not stable.

Time to douse your stomach fire? Really like your expression "I one full stomach of fire", seriously.

completed TBS6285 dvb-t2 test~ this time round i put mre stress to it by recording 6 HD & 2 SD channels~ however i didn't realise my HDD ran out of space resulting the recording to stop at 4hrs 41min~ the tuner still continue to run when i reach home~

Spoiler

install dvb-t2 drivers for TBS6285~

record all 6 HD + 2 SD channels at one go~ this shld be enough for most demanding users~

total 8 clips, 37hr~ play all clips and ffwd at random points, all working fine~
VLC player can't play Ch U audio but no prob when i switch to MPC-HC player~
